"Neil, you have always been good and wonderful, but mom is too greedy."
When Li Ao heard what Su Beibei was thinking, his tense body finally relaxed.
He wrote on his easel: [That night, Mom sat on the ground crying, like a dying person. So in my eyes, you are just a pile of white bones.]
He tilted his head again, gazing at Su Beibei tenderly, and wrote: [But now my mother is the sun.]
Li Ao drew a stick figure of the sun on a piece of paper, and underneath it, a little person. The person looked up at the sun, embracing it. Next to the child, Li Ao wrote: "Neil longs to be loved, but fears being abandoned."
Su Beibei stared at the last line, tears welling in her eyes. "Neil, Mom will never abandon you and will always love you." After a pause, she added, "And your dad, and your godfather."
Li Ao nodded.
The mother and son talked for a while and finally resolved their misunderstandings.
-
Early in the morning, Su Beibei opened the door and led Li Ao's tutor into the house.
Li Ao was studying in the study with his teacher, while Su Beibei was squeezing juice in the kitchen. While busy, she was constructing a new story in her mind.
Suddenly, the cell phone on the dining table rang.
Su Beibei placed the dragon fruit juice on the dining table, picked up her phone, and saw Li Lili's name. She was a little surprised.
Over the years, Li Li rarely spoke to her, and he mostly contacted Li Ao directly. In recent years, the father and son had few opportunities to see each other, but they would video chat every week.
Su Beibei answered the phone, went to the backyard, sat on a rattan chair, and asked Li Li: "Li Li, are you looking for Neil?"
Li Li shook his head and said, "Looking for you."
Su Beibei was silent for a moment before she said, "Oh, we haven't spoken for a long time. I don't know what to say to you."
Li Li told her: "Dr. Nona has returned from a business trip. I decided to have surgery. The surgery is very risky. Beibei, I..."
The person on the other end was silent for a long time before saying, "I want to see you before the operation... to see the child and you."
When Su Beibei heard the "you" he said subconsciously, she knew that Li Li had never let her go. She once found herself being followed on the street. She took out her makeup mirror and saw that it was Li Li hiding behind her.
In recent years, Li Li's condition has worsened instead of improved, requiring him to spend two or three months a year recuperating in Switzerland. When his condition was severe, he became mad and sometimes even considered self-harm.
Perhaps because he was tired of the pain, Li Li decided to have surgery.
Dr. Nona is Li Li's doctor. She has studied his mental illness for more than ten years. She discovered abnormalities in Li Li's nervous system and spent two years tailoring a surgical plan for him.
If the operation is successful, Li Li will return to normal.
If the operation fails, Li Li will suffer from amnesia or hemiplegia at best, or even a long sleep.
Li Li wanted to see his children and wife before the operation.
After so many years, he still refuses to admit that Su Beibei is his ex-wife.
Some diseases cannot be cured.
For example, paranoid love.
Li Ao sent his tutor away and was about to go to the studio to paint when Su Beibei stopped him. "Neil, get ready. We're going to Switzerland tomorrow."
Li Ao paused and turned his head to give her a blank, inquiring look.
"Your father needs a craniotomy, which is very risky. He wants to see us."
Li Ao knew about the operation.
My father has been hesitating for years, and now he has finally made up his mind to do it. He must be feeling uneasy.
Li Ao nodded.
The next day, mother and son set off for Zurich and met Li Li at Dr. Nona's research institute. Twelve years had passed, and Li Li had also turned fourteen.
There were some traces of time on his face, with a few white hairs at his temples. Because of the torture of his illness, he looked very thin.
Seeing Li Ao and his mother, Li Li didn't smile, but his eyes became brighter. Li Ao still didn't speak. After so many years, he had forgotten how to pronounce the words.
On the day of the operation, Han Zhan and Bei Zhan both flew over. They were a little surprised to see Su Beibei and her son there, but after being surprised, they felt relieved.
Regardless of whether Li Li's operation was successful or failed, he should have no regrets as he saw his family before the operation.
Li Ao hadn't seen Han Zhan and Bei Zhan in years, and they felt strange to him. He sat next to his mother, Su Beibei, with his head lowered, immersed in his own world.
Han Zhan saw that Li Ao had grown a lot taller, now 1.7 meters tall. He smiled and said to Su Beibei, "Cibao measured the heights of our three children last month. The eldest is 1.66 meters, the second is 1.73 meters, and the youngest is 1.62 meters."
Su Beibei hasn't seen Han Miao and Han Jun in person for a long time, but she meets Song Ci once a year.
She always heard Song Ci talk about Han Miao and Han Jun, so when she heard this, Su Beibei subconsciously asked, "Miao Miao must be furious, right?"
As the elder sister, Miaomiao is actually seven centimeters shorter than her younger sister Han Jun. How can she accept this?
"Yes, Miaomiao obviously eats more than Junjun, and she was stronger than Junjun when she was little. Who would have thought that in the end she would be a few centimeters shorter than her sister."
Bei Zhan looked at the silent boy beside him and said with a smile, "Beibei, I remember when we were little, Miaomiao loved your Neil very much and insisted on being his bride."
Su Beibei said, "Yes, but my son Neil always complained about Miaomiao being fat. I saw Miaomiao when I video chatted with Song Song last year, and she has lost a lot of weight now."
